What’s your average step count and what have been some of your “hacks” to bump up your daily steps during this time? Let me know in the comments below!
Around 7500 atm! I try to get up in the morning and immediately take an hour walk with my dog. Otherwise just move a lot throughout the day, doing my workout and doing a small walk in the afternoon.
I have a neurological disease and suffer from chronic pain 24/7. I started walking 3 minutes per day today I walk 3 hours per day. I am homebound and do this Inside my bedroom because of my illness, I have lost 120 pounds.
Jokes aside guys this is really an effective way to lose weight. Been walking 20000 steps a day with a strict low cal diet and been able to lose 25kgs in 4 months. Consistency is key.
Thats nice man I start walking a month ago around 8km a day (roughly 10k steps) in rough terrain at a speed of 5-6km/h and it takes me around 1.5 hours already lost 4kg. Might step it up a bit and try to do an extra hour a day. This was suggested by my doctor which is a super athlete and couldn't believe it at first that walking can be so good not only for losing weight but for stamina and health. And now I find this video too which is super helpful. Yeap dont underestimate walking guys.
Congratulations, man! Also, when I was working as a waiter, I was averaging 14km/day and couldnt gain two kilos in a year, despite eating a loot. I have changed my career, and it works like a charm!
I've been hitting around 20K steps every day during quarantine and I must say it is the most effortless type of exercise which increases your NEAT. I'm losing weight without really trying 😁💪
You are lucky. I just finished 4 weeks every day 8-15k steps my average was 11 000 steps per day and I lost 0.2 kilos (like 0.5 lbs). Still keeping my diet.
I was 90 kg during the summer of 2019. February 2021 and I'm down to 66,5 kg. Mostly because I go for a long morning walk right after breakfast. It really works.
@@dxfvgyhjh @Muddyb Mwanaharakati Summer 2022 I'm 55 kg. My journey was very gradual; I started with 3km every morning, made them 5, turned them into running 20 minutes, added full body HIIT and strength training. Calorie intake was always 500 kcal less than what was necessary to keep my weight the same; it was 0,5kg weight loss per week.
Thanks for a great video. I am 73 y/o, currently walk at least 10,000 steps a day, more often 15,000. I walk in the garage around the car! Listen to history podcasts as I walk! Your suggestions were excellent. Where there is a will, there is a way!
@@acidset my neighborhood is beautiful and walkable but lots of hills. Live in Az. In summer, too hot to walk even at 5 Am. Also have a hip injury so hills are hard. Thx for asking! In WINTER will do some walking outside😋probably 17000 steps a day total.
Currently hiking 10 miles per day X 6 days a week. Lost 27 pounds in the last 2 months. This is by far the most effective fat burner. It takes me around 3 to 4 hours a day but its worth it. Plus it's so good to be out in beautiful surroundings and getting fresh air and sunshine.
bruh 10 miles of any thing at 6 x's is gonna burn anything. His point is you don't ahve to strain yourself LIKE that to achieve amazing optimal results
I am a pharmaceutical scientist and I hate watching fake videos online promising everything from weight loss and getting fit within few weeks. I love your videos because this is the first time somebody’s showing how to lose weight with scientific data. Much appreciated and thanks. Great job and keep it up. Subscribed to your channel!!!
I’ve benn walking from 17 000 to 19 000 steps a day for the last 8 months and combined with healthy diet with high share of proteins I lost weight from 130 kilos (286,6 pounds) to 95 kilos (209,4 pounds). Walking really is easy and effective way to lose weight. Do this guys!
I was over 300lbs back in September 15 of 2018, an alcoholic, and ate basically whatever, whenever.. I was able to quit the booze once and for all and starting a mild approach to eating better, and started walking around my neighborhood which was next to nothing in terms of “mileage”. Once I started seeing visual results, it motivated me to do more with my walking and dieting.. in 2019 I averaged a little over 2500 steps a day, and started a more refined diet. This year I’m averaging over 6,500 steps a day (I actually do sprints now in between my walks) and have a very strict diet that was established after research done overtime that suited my lifestyle. Now, I’m still sober and look forward to my exercise routines every day with the goal to be solid, with lean muscle. Currently I go between 147 lbs. to 155lbs at most, which doesn’t happen often.. it’s been months since I’ve gone over that weight, and I must say slot of the exercise incorporated into my routines have been from watching your videos! I am truly grateful for your efforts in posting your knowledge and experience on TH-cam. Fortune, Health, and Happiness to you and your loved ones brother. Keep it up!! 👍 I’ll be 40 years of age this year and that profile pic is from earlier this year! Thanks again! ☝️ ❤️
Jeremy is a great TH-camr and has also helped me a ton in my weight loss journey. I have a disability to where running isn't really something I can do but thanks to this video I now have another great way to burn calories 😁 Its nice to hear from others how helpful Jeremy's scientific based videos are👍💚
With the quarantine and all the gyms shut, I started doing +10K steps a day. Some days, I do less and other days, I do more. However, I lost a significant amount of body fat. This works especially when you combine it with about 16 hours of fasting 5 to 6 times a week.
Thank you, Jeremey Ethier. This video is exactly what I needed as I get myself back in shape. I was at 10-14K steps a day before the shutdown. I literally went down to 5K and have been finding ways to force my self to walk and get myself back up to 10-12. All of the step hacks that you provided in your video are doable. I would also include taking the long route to your car, the store, etc. I have forced myself to also walk to the store one to two times a day instead of taking my car. I am able to get roughly about 3 to 4K steps extra just by doing this. My goal is to get back up from 10-12 to 12-15 in the next month. Thank you for the encouraging and motivating videos!
I do massage and when a client is injuried and cant do weights, I always tell them to walk alot. Then when they are ready to go back to weights they will be ready. Also sometimes heavy workouts can stress the body especially if you have thyroid issues, walking will get you better results because its relaxing. Walking, rest and good sleep can help you lose weight too xo
In my last job, I calculated that I was walking up to 50 miles a week. Over 2 years, my resting heart rate went from 75 to 62. Walking is very effective! Even on rest days from running and weightlifting, I like to get in at least an easy mile or two walking.
This is why Japanese people are so fit and slim, and the best thing is that their lifestyle is all about walking, so they do not need to implement any tricks. Thanks for the video! Appreciate the tips and will try to do them everyday :)
@@Monzaman30E why? I lost almost 10 pounds in 2 weeks while visiting japan and I was already pretty slim. The health lifestyle over there is just better, especially with the public transportation
Walking is exercise that does not feel like exercise, good stuff. Great for the health of your heart. Gets your lungs strong. Should be the first thing that anyone who is overweight should do on there weight-loss journey.
I am 73 years old. I’ve always walked and worked out with my husband❤ since my husband passed away 9 years ago I lagged off, I didn’t care what I ate, but I did walk to help with the depression and anxiety.. when I retired in 2017 I brought home another love of my life❤cairn terrier named Otis Ray❤ we do 3 to 4 miles a day six days a week I do upper body weights 12 pounds each, nine different exercises 12 reps/3sets😊who said when you’re old you’re done😊 not me😊😊 I also drink 72 ounces of water a day the least amount 64 and I try to stay under 1200 cal. I have lost 45 pounds since July and I’ve got another ten to go.
I actually learned about walking back in the early 90's from the " Ripped " series of books, on fat loss and attaining ultimate muscularity. I've been walking for leanness for 25 years. Walking regularly also sends signals to your central nervous system indicating that you are doing something regularly that is movement related. Your body responds to that stimuli by creating a larger number of efficient fat burning enzymes in the muscles themselves. Your body does this because this because it perceives this increased level of mobility as something that can be done more efficiently if you were leaner. So it helps you to do that and to get leaner by creating a more efficient fat burning process. If you're leading a more sedentary lifestyle, your body will NOT create more fat burning enzymes in the muscles, because it interprets your sedentary lifestyle as something which you do NOT need to be lean for.
@@asthereal1502 Oh, I try to walk about 4 hours per week when just maintaining. Because walking does so much for your mental health, your internal health, and so on. It also burns quite a few extra calories. It's good for your digestive system, repairing muscles post workout, your immune system, brain function ( it gets oxygen to your brain), and blood circulation. You can walk as much as you want WITHOUT fatiguing muscles, as it's low intensity, and low impact. Hard cardio done too intensely will hurt gains, and can cause muscle loss. When trying to get lean, I'll increase my walking to 80 minutes per day X 6 days per week. I try to split that 80 minute up into 2 X 40 minute walks if I can. The first walk will raise your basal metabolic rate for most of the day, then the second walk later on you will burn more calories for the walk, because of the increased BMR. Walking will get your appetite and blood glucose levels in check. But yeah, walking does NOT hurt gain, and man do you get LEAN and HEALTHY from it. Even blood pressure will drop and continue do drop for weeks from the walking routine. Good luck...
I live on a university campus, recently I've made it a mission to walk at least 12k steps a day. It isn't easy. But I'm trying to get healthier and increase my energy levels. So I force myself to take long walks around the campus to reach my goal. Thanks for this video, it really helps to know that the work I'm putting into walking has a scientific background.
When I was in asia, I had to walk everywhere. Everyday I had to carry a heavy backpack and also carry books with my hands to brisk walk to school. My teacher even thought I was anorexic and pulled me aside and asked me why I was so skinny. My family moved to north america. I started to gain weight once I started to take the bus to everywhere since most places are no longer within walking distance.
Well honestly I see more people photoshopping to make their stomach look flatter because they’re trying to make a better looking before. Or worse looking I should say. Fitness people on TH-cam.
Walking + not overeating = fat loss - I have been watching what i eat (not calorie counting) + walking 10.000 steps a day [except SUNDAY] - ( which took me about 90 minutes). The first month I lost 6 kg and now I'm at 12 kg down. But I haven't been walking since march 26-th. All I do is sit mostly 10-12 hours. Planing to start again tomorrow, since our quarantine has loosened up a bit. I've started this on January 1-st and went from 92 to 77 kg and gained 3 kg in a month since I sit all day and play games, so now I'm 80 kg.
I was in a motorcycle accident that almost killed me two years ago.. since then I never take my body for granted. Now I eat whole foods, lean meats, fruits, veggies and lots of organic PB. Even with my multiple injuries I continue to workout, diet, and walk over 10000 steps a day with a bad leg. This is the comment you were looking for! YOU ARE CAPABLE, YOU ARE STRONG, AND YOU CAN DO THIS! Good luck, everyone. Prayers for new beginnings! 🙏
this past monday I just started doing minimum 10k steps, since mid january I have been walking 2 miles now roughly 4 and a half miles. The first three days were a little tougher, since I was used to doing 2 miles but now I feel like I got used to it. Since starting this journey I started at 236 pounds my last weigh in which was on April 20th I was 200 pounds. I will be weighing myself again this monday and see how much I have dropped. Been doing the same plan since I started so I know I'm dropping weight even though when looking in the mirror it doesn't seem like it but how my clothes feel sure make a difference. Excited to be under 200 pounds for the first time in probably 15 years.
I got a pedometer at the end of January/early February. I started walking my dog every day. At first, I could only do about 1,500-1,700 steps a day. I weighed 307 and in addition to walking every day, I cut out sugar (like in desserts), and started going lower carb and higher protein. Lots of chicken and vegetables. Lol. Today, I'm down to 285 and I walked 10,051 for the first time on Tuesday!!! It took over a month to get to 10K steps, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I am only walking 5 days a week as after walking 10K steps for a couple days in a row, my knees, back, and feet are really hurting, so I take a day of rest on Thursday and Sunday. I still walk the dog but at a much more leisurely pace, so I don't get that many steps in, but the dog and I are at least not sitting on the couch all the time any longer. Walking really does a whole lot more than just weight loss, especially when you can walk in mild weather with some sunshine. I find it really helps my mood. I'm not as lonely or depressed when I walk the dog.
I’m on a journey atm, I do about 23k steps a day and I’m at 238lbs. I was 305lbs and by just walking I’ve lost so much weight.. my goal is 185lbs and I’m not stopping till I get there…… PS: diet is important
I suffer with bad anxiety and have been on medication years i couldn't even walk out the house without wanting turn around and run back inside ive just downloaded the app reduced my medication and today I've walked 15000 steps for the first time in years i feel good about my self and have set my alarm for 6am i will be working towards 20,000 by end of the week we got this 💪 good to clear the mind aswell
I have #PCOS and prolactinoma and i have been struggling with my weight for years ... tried everything .... spinning classes, boxing, TRX, jiu-jitsu... and still wasnt seing any results.. then i started going into a depression and read how walking helps. So i started walking about 2 months ago and got a huge surprise, my weight is finally going down.... I highly recommend people who have tried everything to try walking it did miracles for me .... good luck everyone !
I've been walking 10000 to 12000 steps a day since lockdown but because of Ramadan i stopped doing that! Your tips seems really helpful and I'll start following it strictly from tomorrow, On a sidenote I'm commenting it while walking from my bedroom to hallway 🤣🤣
takes about 4 hours a day to do. I certainly would love to do this if only it didn't eat up such a huge chunk of my time. I only do 20,000 maybe once or twice a week
Excellent video!!! I have a terminal blood cancer. My former race partner always told me it's not worth getting out of bed if it's less than 10K. that's my base distance when I go walking and also qualifies as a marathon distance. In 2021 I lost 32 pounds in a week and a half because of the cancer. In February 2022 I noticed I was slowly gaining weight. Since March 18 2022 I have done 42 virtual races ranging from 10K to 26K. My oncologist can't believe what I did. Yesterday the day after my cancer treatment I usually feel sick. During the morning I did a 10.58K and 21.19K race. BTW, I'm 65 years old. On occasion I do 20 pushups on the kitchen sink, at least 20 squats and while I'm waiting for my appointments with my oncologist I do push-ups on the handrail, squats, stretches and while getting my chemo I will occasionally do some squats or foot raises for my calves and Achilles. Keep moving, that's the key and also restup!! 🙂
@@yankeefan2119 thanks so much!! Really appreciate it especially since I am starting a highly experimental trial and everything that comes with it. Your comments go a long way!!!
This is so important. Due to sitting at work and constantly being on the road my steps/day have gone down significantly. I am currently trying to walk for 1 hour everyday and there are alot of benefits.
I can attest to this. Last year, I was at a point where my jeans couldn't be buttoned up lol. I wear looser, longer tops anyway but they helped to hide the fact that my jeans were unbuttoned haha. But I started to walk around ~7000 steps on average everyday. (weekends were very sedentary, no diet change) In two months, I needed a belt with my jeans. I also felt my energy levels and sleep to improve.
Same, no diet change. Not gonna lie, i do eat like crap. But it works because my calories intake is way lower. Because i walk 21,500 steps a day and burning over 1k calories. I eat like 1500-2000 calories because I'm not a big eater.
I went on my first date and what we did was walk around and talk about things we were interested in. Walked altogether over 30,000 steps and had an amazing date. :)
@Medic Engineer it is because of lowering cortisol. that lowers gluconeogenesis which burns less amino acids. on the other side because it lowers blood glucose production, it lowers insulin. that results in higher glucagon levels. that increases fat liberation to burn more body fat. that results in the by-product glycerol which can be used as a building block for the rest of the gluconeogenesis that is thill going on, hence less need for amino acids to burn. the fat usage in the liver as a fuel source also leans to more ketone production. that ketones can be used by the brain and other cells as a fuel which lowers the usage of blood sugar which lowers the need for gluconeogenesis which lowers the need for amino acids for gluconeogenesis. you see that there is less hunger because amino acids are not wasted. additionally the ketones (beta-hydroxy-butyrate) has also a hormonal effect to lower hunger. less hunger, less eating. more fat burning and no wasting of amino acids ==> REE (resting energy expenditure) goes up. see, there is no calorie logic involved here. calorie logic is only good for forced weight loss and not good for an easy application (trying to ignore hunger). hormone logic is an elegant and easy way for healthy body fat loss. (keto + walking + optionally once a week real HIIT (3x less than 1 minute full out)) notice the difference weight loss vs. body fat loss? the calorie logic also contains outcomes like the minnesota starvation experiment - please look it up. if you go the modern way with applying hormone logic, then you don't need to give a fuck about calories. never saw an animal or thin people running around with a calorie table :-) i think you got your answer now :-) all the best!
@@JamesCarmichael well all I'm saying is I changed my chocolate bars to dark chocolate from regular ones as a healthy alternative. Moderate intensity walk every morning for 2 hours work for me . I also do weight training and 30 minutes of bike ride everyday so I'm doing great 😁
Since a knee injury Iv been walking regular daily and loosing lots of weight, think this was a blessing in disguise, but doing like 20k steps or more a day. Good videos very professional I might get to your level one day 👌🏻
I turn 60 years old in May. My 84 year old father was giving me crap that I shouldn't use my age as an excuse because he walked 3 miles everyday rain, snow or shine. So I got started in late February putting 8000 steps as my goal. 2 weeks later, 10,000 steps. I'm now doing more than 20,000 steps plus 100 push-ups everyday. I'm feeling much better, younger and stronger. I only eat one nutritious meal a day. I went from 214 to 198.4 as of this morning.
I've just got back into walking again with quarantine. It is something I have enjoyed since a young child. I started going to the gym 3 years ago (I'm 57) had a wonderful time learning and loving weightlifting but not losing any weight.....upped my walking during the last few months and voila.....and it's just steady state. I enjoy it knowing I'm getting exercise but more so the pyschological aspect of relaxing. Glad to see this video reinforcing my love for walking 😁
I don't have an issue till 11 k to 12 k, post that it does become a bit of a strain so I stop anywhere between 11 k to 12 k. However I have been doing 10 k consistently for about 6 months and I can already see a world of benefits like better concentration, better sleep, better mood and also a healthy appetite, though I do keep the calories in check. Thanks.
I bought a nice rebounder and when my standup app goes off on my phone (every 25 minutes) I lightly jog on it for 6-8 minutes. By the time the day is over Ive been on it for 40-60 minutes a day...and then in the evening I also go for a brisk walk. It works, Ive lost 21 .lbs so far and I’m not burned out or tired. Update: i am now down 28.lbs just from rebounding and walking. Now spending more time on resistance training to firm things up.
Thank you for finally helping me understand why I was less hungry after being more active, I always thought it was strange that after starting a new workout program that I would end up losing my appetite, glad to know that this is actually supposed to happen!
I work as a nursing assistant and I walk a lot during my 8 hour shifts. I never have to worry about not walking. I don't really count how many steps because I love walking. It's my favorite form of exercise.
Well, just started implementing this last week, and I literally just walk around to house while watching TH-cam on the phone, people may think I am crazy, but At least I will be crazy fit !
I started walking more at the end of May, my average daily step count was only 2-3k steps. I started walking around the house literally all day, I’ve went from 299 lbs to 244.8. My current average step count is at 31k per day. I’m averaging a 4-5lb weight loss ever 7 days. I eat sausage, eggs, and 1 pancake for breakfast, 1 cup of chicken breast and 1 cup of apples for lunch, and for dinner I usually stick with a large sweet potato.
I completely agree with this Jeremy. I have been a runner and triathlete for a numbers of years, I cross train and switch my workouts around to avoid injury and keep the consistency and body fat healthy. Over the years I have introduced more walking in longer runs and workouts. I went out for 4 months and my cardio was just walking along with steady clean eating habits with a few cheat days. It is very true, my body fat and body composition remained the same and I noticed even more definition then years past. 8,000 to 12,000 steps per day with one day off. My true way of accomplishment was consistency. Of course you don't have to go long or hard every workout, but consistency is the key ! And yes , its true, walking can be your lone cardio workout with a bit of resistance training, and you can be looking as good as you want. Stay healthy and safe and walk on.
I never really kept track of my steps but thanks to my family's treadmill and my backlog of shows, I've been doing 30 mins of walking a day at the start of the month and I've been seeing the results. They are small but I can actually see the lining of my pectorals.
I’m so glad I found this channel! I started walking 3 miles a day 1 month ago and last week I started to walk 4.5 miles a day and I haven’t seen any weight loss as of yet on the scale but overall my physique is changing I’m getting leaner!! I have cleaned my eating up also and I know in due time I will see the weight fall off!! My motto is slow and steady and walking is so therapeutic to my mental health I look forward to 6pm I walk 90 min a day!
I have two weeks doing this and I definitely lost weight and now I’m at the lowest I’ve ever been and abs are finally starting to come in after never being able to see them
I walk 3.5 miles every morning 7 days a week. I started watching what I eat on Jan 1st, 2020. So far thru walking and watching my calories in calories out and knowing my BMR I have been able to take my weight from 255 to 176 pounds. I'm only 5 feet 6 inches tall so 3.5 miles is approximately 8000 steps. From there it's easy to get a couple thousand extra steps in. I have cervical stenosis so walking is low impact and is the best exercise for me. Good video!
I’m so glad I found this video because I was really struggling. My knees, hips, and shoulders click when I do certain workouts. Since I lost my insurance this year, I can’t get it checked out, so I stopped working out during lockdown and gained some weight. Luckily I have no pain or clicking joints when I walk, so it’s time to start walking 8K-10K steps every day and lower my calorie intake.
"Reps to the Rhythm" was what revolutionized the whole step counting for me. Check out his walking workouts and have fun! Sometimes I do 20,000 steps a day simply jamming to great music. Thanks for this video. GREAT content. 😄
Thanks for making this video! Love your approach. Instead of making things complicated, you broke weight loss and exercise down to some simple, effective steps. You've inspired me to get 10,000 steps per day with your suggestions.
I have been walking 20,000 to 22,000 a day. Most in my house lately due to the heat and smoke out side from the fires. I have been losing steadily. I agree walking works!😊
I started walking for exercise a week ago. I started with 25k steps but tapered down to 20k a day. Since then I went from 192lbs to 182lbs and 17.8% body fat to 16% bf. I’m shocked how something so easy is helping me lose fat. I exercise a lot and go fairly heinous HIIT after lifting and could never lose weight. Walking works!
I’m currently post knee repair, but I aim for 4-5k steps a day, at at least 4.3-4.5 mph, I incorporate a few uphill and also up and down a set of 80 terrace stairs (4x up and 4x down)..not going to lie it fuckin kills me somedays and my knee feels it but I enjoy the high it gives me. I hope to gradually build up strength and endurance once I’m completely healed and stronger. That all said…I personally feel like the most important factor is to literally create a healthy relationship with food, the more you fear it or place restrictions on yourself, the less likely it will be to work (For the majority) in the long run. Obviously it will be easier for some more so than others, but I feel you need to create and establish a good positive relationship with food before you even contemplate weight loss or getting your body into dream/healthier body. Again this is merely my observation and understanding I’ve gathered from sources I trust and I am finding it works so far.
I think this is great knowledge. Low impact burns just as many calories, its all about total length. Running 10k just drops those calories in a shorter amount of time. Of course, HIT will increase other factors such as muscle mass and and stamina, resulting in the person being able to have even greater effect during shorter periods of time. 5k or 10k doesnt matter -- consistency is key. Count your caloric intake, keep a deficit of 300 and walk 5k a day and keep hydrated. This will make you lose weight whatever diet you have.
I do 10000+ steps a day walking and cleaning my diet up helped me cut around 80lbs of fat over the last year. 10k was never a target number for me, it just kinda happened that way and what i stuck with doing and now its part of my daily routine
"10,000 steps a day may sound daunting" Just left a job where I did 18000-28000 steps a day, moving heavy shit and powerwalking. The first week when I started, I lost 3 lbs on accident.
I work from home (always have), and I set a timer to remind me to get up at least every hour and walk around the house for 5 minutes. I love your other tips, and I will try to make use of them! :)
I literally walk laps around my house when Im on youtube lol If you're a samsung user they have these walking challenges within their health app to join every month and it motivates me because for every month you get a badge for completing a certain amount of steps 😁 It's motivating to see my collection of badges from each subsequent month! 🥰
I have an app called impact. Basically released by a company called vedanta for csr. Based in the steps you raise money for charity. Past 33 days ive been doing 5km to 10km walking everyday. I lost only 7 pounds though, gotta get my diet strict .
My husband has a friend that is 75 and his wife is late 60's. For almost 30 years they both have been walking for 3 miles a day at a park near their home. I've never met the wife but the husband looks 20 years younger but more than that really vital.
I walk 4 miles a day and already lost ALOT OF WEIGHT. I keep calorie deficit and just keep on walking. 🤣 I am now on a dry fast for two days for healing. 😊 I am doing alot of cleaning and reading and walking during my dry fast
Agree on this. Walking does a wonderful job of body maintenance and meditation as well. Used to just exercise at the gym with little effect on fat loss, but when i was traveling around Europe in 2019, i walked almost 10 km a day for a good 2 months, the fat loss was amazing. Now, im already incorporating long walks in the evening in my wellness routine!
Awesome video! I have been doing this now for a few years, and it’s crazy how much more you can keep your weight in check with just checking your steps!
That idea of attaching a healthy activity or habit to something in the physical world like a hallway or doorway just blew my mind. Really cool idea. It's actually a technique used in lucid dreaming too. You practice associating doing "reality checks" to things you do during normal waking hours (walking through a doorway or looking at a clock, etc) so that it will also become a habit while dreaming. That way you can realize when you're dreaming and take control of it to do anything you want.
What’s your average step count and what have been some of your “hacks” to bump up your daily steps during this time? Let me know in the comments below!
Excelent vídeo bro. Like.
Around 7500 atm! I try to get up in the morning and immediately take an hour walk with my dog. Otherwise just move a lot throughout the day, doing my workout and doing a small walk in the afternoon.
How tall are u?
15k but in the lockdown 7k
10k a day before quarantine
Less than 1k now
I have a neurological disease and suffer from chronic pain 24/7. I started walking 3 minutes per day today I walk 3 hours per day. I am homebound and do this Inside my bedroom because of my illness, I have lost 120 pounds.
Awesome job working on yourself man!
Do you have a tredmill?
Good job I wish you all the best
@@prynkya no I walk inside my room back and forth as boring as it may sound I'm quite used to it. I try walk late at night when the weather is cool.
@@cuhyu382 thank you
Jokes aside guys this is really an effective way to lose weight. Been walking 20000 steps a day with a strict low cal diet and been able to lose 25kgs in 4 months. Consistency is key.
But how much of that was body fat and not muscle loss?
Thats nice man I start walking a month ago around 8km a day (roughly 10k steps) in rough terrain at a speed of 5-6km/h and it takes me around 1.5 hours already lost 4kg. Might step it up a bit and try to do an extra hour a day. This was suggested by my doctor which is a super athlete and couldn't believe it at first that walking can be so good not only for losing weight but for stamina and health. And now I find this video too which is super helpful. Yeap dont underestimate walking guys.
You've just inspired me to get the walking shoes out.
Mantab bro
Congratulations, man! Also, when I was working as a waiter, I was averaging 14km/day and couldnt gain two kilos in a year, despite eating a loot. I have changed my career, and it works like a charm!
I've been hitting around 20K steps every day during quarantine and I must say it is the most effortless type of exercise which increases your NEAT. I'm losing weight without really trying 😁💪
You are lucky. I just finished 4 weeks every day 8-15k steps my average was 11 000 steps per day and I lost 0.2 kilos (like 0.5 lbs). Still keeping my diet.
Were you on low calorie diet
@Fukonami or she was building muscle and loosing fat at same time
tak ty jsi dobry Beast Ana :] kde tak chodis ze delas 20k per day?? Hory nebo mesto?
@Overlord then your diet is still too high if you want to lose more
I was 90 kg during the summer of 2019. February 2021 and I'm down to 66,5 kg. Mostly because I go for a long morning walk right after breakfast. It really works.
How many steps? Or how many km you went for a walk?
yes how many steps and what's your average calorie intake
@@dxfvgyhjh @Muddyb Mwanaharakati Summer 2022 I'm 55 kg. My journey was very gradual; I started with 3km every morning, made them 5, turned them into running 20 minutes, added full body HIIT and strength training. Calorie intake was always 500 kcal less than what was necessary to keep my weight the same; it was 0,5kg weight loss per week.
Cut the breakfast too
@@TheGoldenrun how unhealthy
Thanks for a great video. I am 73 y/o, currently walk at least 10,000 steps a day, more often 15,000. I walk in the garage around the car! Listen to history podcasts as I walk! Your suggestions were excellent. Where there is a will, there is a way!
That's really nice. But, no walkable neighborhood?
@@acidset my neighborhood is beautiful and walkable but lots of hills. Live in Az. In summer, too hot to walk even at 5 Am.
Also have a hip injury so hills are hard. Thx for asking! In WINTER will do some walking outside😋probably 17000 steps a day total.
That's fantastic, good on you! Inspiring!
Very inspiring and thank you for sharing
"73...15000"
Geez. Something to aspire to right there.
Currently hiking 10 miles per day X 6 days a week. Lost 27 pounds in the last 2 months. This is by far the most effective fat burner. It takes me around 3 to 4 hours a day but its worth it. Plus it's so good to be out in beautiful surroundings and getting fresh air and sunshine.
bruh 10 miles of any thing at 6 x's is gonna burn anything. His point is you don't ahve to strain yourself LIKE that to achieve amazing optimal results
lol way to miss the point of this video but hey whatever lol
@@Scrappy90059nah you missed the point smh
I am a pharmaceutical scientist and I hate watching fake videos online promising everything from weight loss and getting fit within few weeks.

I just came back from an One Hour Walk , Took a shower sat down opened TH-cam and there is your Video about walking. Greetings from Germany
Because the GPS in your phone knew that you were walking. Due to the speed.
Funny did the same thing and it just popped out in reccomendations :)
@@marksystemed4678 wow that's new information I'm blown away literally
😅 zwar ein Jahr später aber genau so wars grade bei mir
I am on OMAD with the 10K steps per day. It really is workable. Walking is light impact and you can do it everyday.
I’ve benn walking from 17 000 to 19 000 steps a day for the last 8 months and combined with healthy diet with high share of proteins I lost weight from 130 kilos (286,6 pounds) to 95 kilos (209,4 pounds). Walking really is easy and effective way to lose weight. Do this guys!
Good work man, is a really impressive thing to lose 35 kg in 8 months
Great
Share with ur diet plan plz
I was over 300lbs back in September 15 of 2018, an alcoholic, and ate basically whatever, whenever.. I was able to quit the booze once and for all and starting a mild approach to eating better, and started walking around my neighborhood which was next to nothing in terms of “mileage”.
Once I started seeing visual results, it motivated me to do more with my walking and dieting.. in 2019 I averaged a little over 2500 steps a day, and started a more refined diet.
This year I’m averaging over 6,500 steps a day (I actually do sprints now in between my walks) and have a very strict diet that was established after research done overtime that suited my lifestyle. Now, I’m still sober and look forward to my exercise routines every day with the goal to be solid, with lean muscle. Currently I go between 147 lbs. to 155lbs at most, which doesn’t happen often.. it’s been months since I’ve gone over that weight, and I must say slot of the exercise incorporated into my routines have been from watching your videos!
I am truly grateful for your efforts in posting your knowledge and experience on TH-cam. Fortune, Health, and Happiness to you and your loved ones brother. Keep it up!! 👍
I’ll be 40 years of age this year and that profile pic is from earlier this year! Thanks again!

Well done man!!! That's amazing
Alcohol alone can screw up your physique.

Jeremy is a great TH-camr and has also helped me a ton in my weight loss journey. I have a disability to where running isn't really something I can do but thanks to this video I now have another great way to burn calories 😁
Its nice to hear from others how helpful Jeremy's scientific based videos are👍💚
Walking is awesome I went from 210Ibs to 165Ibs in 2years just from walking and I enjoyed it and I'm grateful 😊❤️🌈🌄👌🏾

I started walking 10k steps everyday and it really does help with weight loss! Thanks for the vid!
In how many days u saw losing weight?
Ok thanks for the motivation
@@keerthikitty1394 u got give more than days to see weight loss
@@danp6820 i saw results in 1 week jahahah it's so effective
It doesn't help me grrr
I’ve gone from averaging 7,000 steps to just above 13,000 steps and in just a couple of weeks I can notice change. Walking = Better Butter Burner.
With the quarantine and all the gyms shut, I started doing +10K steps a day. Some days, I do less and other days, I do more. However, I lost a significant amount of body fat. This works especially when you combine it with about 16 hours of fasting 5 to 6 times a week.
Thank you, Jeremey Ethier. This video is exactly what I needed as I get myself back in shape. I was at 10-14K steps a day before the shutdown. I literally went down to 5K and have been finding ways to force my self to walk and get myself back up to 10-12. All of the step hacks that you provided in your video are doable. I would also include taking the long route to your car, the store, etc. I have forced myself to also walk to the store one to two times a day instead of taking my car. I am able to get roughly about 3 to 4K steps extra just by doing this. My goal is to get back up from 10-12 to 12-15 in the next month. Thank you for the encouraging and motivating videos!
💪🏽
Go on brother..❤
I do massage and when a client is injuried and cant do weights, I always tell them to walk alot. Then when they are ready to go back to weights they will be ready. Also sometimes heavy workouts can stress the body especially if you have thyroid issues, walking will get you better results because its relaxing. Walking, rest and good sleep can help you lose weight too xo
In my last job, I calculated that I was walking up to 50 miles a week. Over 2 years, my resting heart rate went from 75 to 62. Walking is very effective! Even on rest days from running and weightlifting, I like to get in at least an easy mile or two walking.
This is why Japanese people are so fit and slim, and the best thing is that their lifestyle is all about walking, so they do not need to implement any tricks.
Thanks for the video! Appreciate the tips and will try to do them everyday :)
you are delusional.
@@Monzaman30E why? I lost almost 10 pounds in 2 weeks while visiting japan and I was already pretty slim. The health lifestyle over there is just better, especially with the public transportation
Walking is exercise that does not feel like exercise, good stuff. Great for the health of your heart. Gets your lungs strong. Should be the first thing that anyone who is overweight should do on there weight-loss journey.
💪🏽
I will definately start walking to my work when I get a job again.... hopefully this crazy time will end soon...

I am 73 years old. I’ve always walked and worked out with my husband❤ since my husband passed away 9 years ago I lagged off, I didn’t care what I ate, but I did walk to help with the depression and anxiety.. when I retired in 2017 I brought home another love of my life❤cairn terrier named Otis Ray❤ we do 3 to 4 miles a day six days a week I do upper body weights 12 pounds each, nine different exercises 12 reps/3sets😊who said when you’re old you’re done😊 not me😊😊 I also drink 72 ounces of water a day the least amount 64 and I try to stay under 1200 cal. I have lost 45 pounds since July and I’ve got another ten to go.
I actually learned about walking back in the early 90's from the " Ripped " series of books, on fat loss and attaining ultimate muscularity. I've been walking for leanness for 25 years. Walking regularly also sends signals to your central nervous system indicating that you are doing something regularly that is movement related. Your body responds to that stimuli by creating a larger number of efficient fat burning enzymes in the muscles themselves. Your body does this because this because it perceives this increased level of mobility as something that can be done more efficiently if you were leaner. So it helps you to do that and to get leaner by creating a more efficient fat burning process. If you're leading a more sedentary lifestyle, your body will NOT create more fat burning enzymes in the muscles, because it interprets your sedentary lifestyle as something which you do NOT need to be lean for.
Did not know that before thanks for the info!
How long and often do you walk for. Does it kill your gains - are you skinny
@@asthereal1502 Oh, I try to walk about 4 hours per week when just maintaining. Because walking does so much for your mental health, your internal health, and so on. It also burns quite a few extra calories. It's good for your digestive system, repairing muscles post workout, your immune system, brain function ( it gets oxygen to your brain), and blood circulation. You can walk as much as you want WITHOUT fatiguing muscles, as it's low intensity, and low impact. Hard cardio done too intensely will hurt gains, and can cause muscle loss. When trying to get lean, I'll increase my walking to 80 minutes per day X 6 days per week. I try to split that 80 minute up into 2 X 40 minute walks if I can. The first walk will raise your basal metabolic rate for most of the day, then the second walk later on you will burn more calories for the walk, because of the increased BMR. Walking will get your appetite and blood glucose levels in check. But yeah, walking does NOT hurt gain, and man do you get LEAN and HEALTHY from it. Even blood pressure will drop and continue do drop for weeks from the walking routine. Good luck...
💪🏽
@@westfieldartworks8188your very knowledgeable thanks for the info
I live on a university campus, recently I've made it a mission to walk at least 12k steps a day. It isn't easy. But I'm trying to get healthier and increase my energy levels. So I force myself to take long walks around the campus to reach my goal. Thanks for this video, it really helps to know that the work I'm putting into walking has a scientific background.
When I was in asia, I had to walk everywhere. Everyday I had to carry a heavy backpack and also carry books with my hands to brisk walk to school. My teacher even thought I was anorexic and pulled me aside and asked me why I was so skinny. My family moved to north america. I started to gain weight once I started to take the bus to everywhere since most places are no longer within walking distance.
I live in Asia right now and yes hitting 10,000+ a day is so easy because of the lifestyle and having everything in walking distance.

Well honestly I see more people photoshopping to make their stomach look flatter because they’re trying to make a better looking before. Or worse looking I should say. Fitness people on TH-cam.
only reason i want a treadmill in my house. netflix and walk
Just got one and I love doing cardio in my own home.
Yea but the imagine the electricity bill I can’t imagine 😣
you can try audiobooks and walk. this is the only thing that helped me, music gets boring every day
Treadmill is bad for your legs. Your hamstrings dont have to fire to "pull" you thru the gait*. Save your $300+ and just walk in place.
@Zandeel Remmington it helps your ankle stability. If you lack stability i wouldn't recommend that or sand running
Walking + not overeating = fat loss - I have been watching what i eat (not calorie counting) + walking 10.000 steps a day [except SUNDAY] - ( which took me about 90 minutes). The first month I lost 6 kg and now I'm at 12 kg down. But I haven't been walking since march 26-th. All I do is sit mostly 10-12 hours. Planing to start again tomorrow, since our quarantine has loosened up a bit. I've started this on January 1-st and went from 92 to 77 kg and gained 3 kg in a month since I sit all day and play games, so now I'm 80 kg.
Heck yeah similar case for me I've started walking again tho get back on the grind

this past monday I just started doing minimum 10k steps, since mid january I have been walking 2 miles now roughly 4 and a half miles. The first three days were a little tougher, since I was used to doing 2 miles but now I feel like I got used to it. Since starting this journey I started at 236 pounds my last weigh in which was on April 20th I was 200 pounds. I will be weighing myself again this monday and see how much I have dropped. Been doing the same plan since I started so I know I'm dropping weight even though when looking in the mirror it doesn't seem like it but how my clothes feel sure make a difference. Excited to be under 200 pounds for the first time in probably 15 years.
💪🏽
I got a pedometer at the end of January/early February. I started walking my dog every day. At first, I could only do about 1,500-1,700 steps a day. I weighed 307 and in addition to walking every day, I cut out sugar (like in desserts), and started going lower carb and higher protein. Lots of chicken and vegetables. Lol. Today, I'm down to 285 and I walked 10,051 for the first time on Tuesday!!! It took over a month to get to 10K steps, but I'm glad I stuck with it. I am only walking 5 days a week as after walking 10K steps for a couple days in a row, my knees, back, and feet are really hurting, so I take a day of rest on Thursday and Sunday. I still walk the dog but at a much more leisurely pace, so I don't get that many steps in, but the dog and I are at least not sitting on the couch all the time any longer.
Walking really does a whole lot more than just weight loss, especially when you can walk in mild weather with some sunshine. I find it really helps my mood. I'm not as lonely or depressed when I walk the dog.
Intermittent fasting and 20,000 steps a day 👍🏽
I’m on a journey atm, I do about 23k steps a day and I’m at 238lbs. I was 305lbs and by just walking I’ve lost so much weight.. my goal is 185lbs and I’m not stopping till I get there…… PS: diet is important
Do you eat healthier too ?
I suffer with bad anxiety and have been on medication years i couldn't even walk out the house without wanting turn around and run back inside ive just downloaded the app reduced my medication and today I've walked 15000 steps for the first time in years i feel good about my self and have set my alarm for 6am i will be working towards 20,000 by end of the week we got this 💪 good to clear the mind aswell
I have #PCOS and prolactinoma and i have been struggling with my weight for years ... tried everything .... spinning classes, boxing, TRX, jiu-jitsu... and still wasnt seing any results.. then i started going into a depression and read how walking helps. So i started walking about 2 months ago and got a huge surprise, my weight is finally going down....
I highly recommend people who have tried everything to try walking it did miracles for me ....
good luck everyone !

Excellent video!!! I have a terminal blood cancer. My former race partner always told me it's not worth getting out of bed if it's less than 10K. that's my base distance when I go walking and also qualifies as a marathon distance. In 2021 I lost 32 pounds in a week and a half because of the cancer. In February 2022 I noticed I was slowly gaining weight. Since March 18 2022 I have done 42 virtual races ranging from 10K to 26K. My oncologist can't believe what I did. Yesterday the day after my cancer treatment I usually feel sick. During the morning I did a 10.58K and 21.19K race. BTW, I'm 65 years old.
On occasion I do 20 pushups on the kitchen sink, at least 20 squats and while I'm waiting for my appointments with my oncologist I do push-ups on the handrail, squats, stretches and while getting my chemo I will occasionally do some squats or foot raises for my calves and Achilles. Keep moving, that's the key and also restup!! 🙂

This is so important. Due to sitting at work and constantly being on the road my steps/day have gone down significantly. I am currently trying to walk for 1 hour everyday and there are alot of benefits.
I can attest to this. Last year, I was at a point where my jeans couldn't be buttoned up lol. I wear looser, longer tops anyway but they helped to hide the fact that my jeans were unbuttoned haha. But I started to walk around ~7000 steps on average everyday. (weekends were very sedentary, no diet change) In two months, I needed a belt with my jeans. I also felt my energy levels and sleep to improve.
did u also do any diet.
@@RB2S123 nope, no diet.
💪🏽
Same, no diet change. Not gonna lie, i do eat like crap. But it works because my calories intake is way lower. Because i walk 21,500 steps a day and burning over 1k calories. I eat like 1500-2000 calories because I'm not a big eater.
I went on my first date and what we did was walk around and talk about things we were interested in. Walked altogether over 30,000 steps and had an amazing date. :)
Weight loss being the measure of a successful date 🤣
Thanks for the video, it definitely convinced to start walking. I'm doing 1h30m brisk walking, or 10k steps, everyday at 5:30AM. Feels amazing.
I stopped craving chocolate since I started walking 12,000 steps a day. It's crazy.
@Medic Engineer it is because of lowering cortisol. that lowers gluconeogenesis which burns less amino acids. on the other side because it lowers blood glucose production, it lowers insulin. that results in higher glucagon levels. that increases fat liberation to burn more body fat. that results in the by-product glycerol which can be used as a building block for the rest of the gluconeogenesis that is thill going on, hence less need for amino acids to burn. the fat usage in the liver as a fuel source also leans to more ketone production. that ketones can be used by the brain and other cells as a fuel which lowers the usage of blood sugar which lowers the need for gluconeogenesis which lowers the need for amino acids for gluconeogenesis.
you see that there is less hunger because amino acids are not wasted. additionally the ketones (beta-hydroxy-butyrate) has also a hormonal effect to lower hunger.
less hunger, less eating. more fat burning and no wasting of amino acids ==> REE (resting energy expenditure) goes up.
see, there is no calorie logic involved here.
calorie logic is only good for forced weight loss and not good for an easy application (trying to ignore hunger).
hormone logic is an elegant and easy way for healthy body fat loss. (keto + walking + optionally once a week real HIIT (3x less than 1 minute full out))
notice the difference weight loss vs. body fat loss?
the calorie logic also contains outcomes like the minnesota starvation experiment - please look it up.
if you go the modern way with applying hormone logic, then you don't need to give a fuck about calories.
never saw an animal or thin people running around with a calorie table :-)
i think you got your answer now :-)
all the best!
Same, my apetite has decreased
I still eat two bars of dark chocolate everyday though.
@@ashishkhandakar1995 Yes but exercise is notorious for raising hunger and cravings. It seems low intensity cardio doesn't do that.
@@JamesCarmichael well all I'm saying is I changed my chocolate bars to dark chocolate from regular ones as a healthy alternative. Moderate intensity walk every morning for 2 hours work for me . I also do weight training and 30 minutes of bike ride everyday so I'm doing great 😁
Fantastic video! My life changed when I started walking more. I usually walk about 10000 steps but have now pushed that up to 11000.
Man, I love how you combine graphichs/animations with fitness science. Makes it super easy to understand things
Since a knee injury Iv been walking regular daily and loosing lots of weight, think this was a blessing in disguise, but doing like 20k steps or more a day. Good videos very professional I might get to your level one day 👌🏻
I turn 60 years old in May. My 84 year old father was giving me crap that I shouldn't use my age as an excuse because he walked 3 miles everyday rain, snow or shine. So I got started in late February putting 8000 steps as my goal. 2 weeks later, 10,000 steps. I'm now doing more than 20,000 steps plus 100 push-ups everyday. I'm feeling much better, younger and stronger. I only eat one nutritious meal a day. I went from 214 to 198.4 as of this morning.
I've just got back into walking again with quarantine. It is something I have enjoyed since a young child. I started going to the gym 3 years ago (I'm 57) had a wonderful time learning and loving weightlifting but not losing any weight.....upped my walking during the last few months and voila.....and it's just steady state. I enjoy it knowing I'm getting exercise but more so the pyschological aspect of relaxing. Glad to see this video reinforcing my love for walking 😁
Your posture is amazing! 10-12k steps for me. Flat stomach and leaner legs.
Amazing video :) I’ve found that if I call friends while on a walk, I can easily do 10-20k steps without it feeling like exercise
Same! Good advice !
Same it goes by so fast when talking to someone 😂
I don't have an issue till 11 k to 12 k, post that it does become a bit of a strain so I stop anywhere between 11 k to 12 k. However I have been doing 10 k consistently for about 6 months and I can already see a world of benefits like better concentration, better sleep, better mood and also a healthy appetite, though I do keep the calories in check.

@Dhanush21 0,45 kg
@Dhanush21 at a time 10k or throughout the day?
I bought a nice rebounder and when my standup app goes off on my phone (every 25 minutes) I lightly jog on it for 6-8 minutes. By the time the day is over Ive been on it for 40-60 minutes a day...and then in the evening I also go for a brisk walk. It works, Ive lost 21 .lbs so far and I’m not burned out or tired.
Update: i am now down 28.lbs just from rebounding and walking. Now spending more time on resistance training to firm things up.
Thank you for finally helping me understand why I was less hungry after being more active, I always thought it was strange that after starting a new workout program that I would end up losing my appetite, glad to know that this is actually supposed to happen!
Ppl use to laugh at me for walking on the treadmill in between lifting sets.. I have to agree with you.
I work as a nursing assistant and I walk a lot during my 8 hour shifts. I never have to worry about not walking. I don't really count how many steps because I love walking. It's my favorite form of exercise.
Well, just started implementing this last week, and I literally just walk around to house while watching TH-cam on the phone, people may think I am crazy, but At least I will be crazy fit !
I started walking more at the end of May, my average daily step count was only 2-3k steps. I started walking around the house literally all day, I’ve went from 299 lbs to 244.8. My current average step count is at 31k per day. I’m averaging a 4-5lb weight loss ever 7 days. I eat sausage, eggs, and 1 pancake for breakfast, 1 cup of chicken breast and 1 cup of apples for lunch, and for dinner I usually stick with a large sweet potato.
💪🏽
Danm just around the house..nice work bro. Have you kept it off mostly since this comment?
I recently upped my steps to over 10k per day and my body composition has already started to change
I completely agree with this Jeremy. I have been a runner and triathlete for a numbers of years, I cross train and switch my workouts around to avoid injury and keep the consistency and body fat healthy. Over the years I have introduced more walking in longer runs and workouts. I went out for 4 months and my cardio was just walking along with steady clean eating habits with a few cheat days. It is very true, my body fat and body composition remained the same and I noticed even more definition then years past. 8,000 to 12,000 steps per day with one day off. My true way of accomplishment was consistency. Of course you don't have to go long or hard every workout, but consistency is the key ! And yes , its true, walking can be your lone cardio workout with a bit of resistance training, and you can be looking as good as you want. Stay healthy and safe and walk on.
I never really kept track of my steps but thanks to my family's treadmill and my backlog of shows, I've been doing 30 mins of walking a day at the start of the month and I've been seeing the results. They are small but I can actually see the lining of my pectorals.
I’m so glad I found this channel! I started walking 3 miles a day 1 month ago and last week I started to walk 4.5 miles a day and I haven’t seen any weight loss as of yet on the scale but overall my physique is changing I’m getting leaner!! I have cleaned my eating up also and I know in due time I will see the weight fall off!! My motto is slow and steady and walking is so therapeutic to my mental health I look forward to 6pm I walk 90 min a day!
2 month update?
Remember you're building muscle which is heavier than fat so don't worry about what the scales say..go with how you feel and how your clothes feel
I have two weeks doing this and I definitely lost weight and now I’m at the lowest I’ve ever been and abs are finally starting to come in after never being able to see them
That's cool, dude
💪🏽
I walk 3.5 miles every morning 7 days a week. I started watching what I eat on Jan 1st, 2020. So far thru walking and watching my calories in calories out and knowing my BMR I have been able to take my weight from 255 to 176 pounds. I'm only 5 feet 6 inches tall so 3.5 miles is approximately 8000 steps. From there it's easy to get a couple thousand extra steps in. I have cervical stenosis so walking is low impact and is the best exercise for me. Good video!
255 to 176 In how many days you lost this weight?
I’m so glad I found this video because I was really struggling. My knees, hips, and shoulders click when I do certain workouts. Since I lost my insurance this year, I can’t get it checked out, so I stopped working out during lockdown and gained some weight. Luckily I have no pain or clicking joints when I walk, so it’s time to start walking 8K-10K steps every day and lower my calorie intake.
"Reps to the Rhythm" was what revolutionized the whole step counting for me. Check out his walking workouts and have fun! Sometimes I do 20,000 steps a day simply jamming to great music. Thanks for this video. GREAT content. 😄
Thanks for making this video! Love your approach. Instead of making things complicated, you broke weight loss and exercise down to some simple, effective steps. You've inspired me to get 10,000 steps per day with your suggestions.
I have been walking 20,000 to 22,000 a day. Most in my house lately due to the heat and smoke out side from the fires. I have been losing steadily. I agree walking works!😊
I started walking for exercise a week ago. I started with 25k steps but tapered down to 20k a day. Since then I went from 192lbs to 182lbs and 17.8% body fat to 16% bf. I’m shocked how something so easy is helping me lose fat. I exercise a lot and go fairly heinous HIIT after lifting and could never lose weight. Walking works!
I'm in my 5th week of walking over 12000 steps 6 days per week. Eat low carb and high protein diet and have seen remarkable progress in losing weight.
I’m currently post knee repair, but I aim for 4-5k steps a day, at at least 4.3-4.5 mph, I incorporate a few uphill and also up and down a set of 80 terrace stairs (4x up and 4x down)..not going to lie it fuckin kills me somedays and my knee feels it but I enjoy the high it gives me. I hope to gradually build up strength and endurance once I’m completely healed and stronger. That all said…I personally feel like the most important factor is to literally create a healthy relationship with food, the more you fear it or place restrictions on yourself, the less likely it will be to work (For the majority) in the long run. Obviously it will be easier for some more so than others, but I feel you need to create and establish a good positive relationship with food before you even contemplate weight loss or getting your body into dream/healthier body. Again this is merely my observation and understanding I’ve gathered from sources I trust and I am finding it works so far.
I think this is great knowledge. Low impact burns just as many calories, its all about total length. Running 10k just drops those calories in a shorter amount of time. Of course, HIT will increase other factors such as muscle mass and and stamina, resulting in the person being able to have even greater effect during shorter periods of time. 5k or 10k doesnt matter -- consistency is key. Count your caloric intake, keep a deficit of 300 and walk 5k a day and keep hydrated. This will make you lose weight whatever diet you have.
I need 1200-1500 to maintain. I’m 21% body fat as a 43 year old female. I also go to the gym a few times a week. Maintaining is hard 😉💕
You need to cut down on food / calorie intake.
@@Morgue12free I’m trying 💕. I like being a size 4 🥰
I do 10000+ steps a day walking and cleaning my diet up helped me cut around 80lbs of fat over the last year. 10k was never a target number for me, it just kinda happened that way and what i stuck with doing and now its part of my daily routine
Also, park further away in any store or place you go. Park closer to the back. Adds a lot of steps. Thanks for the content!
I envy those who can walk around their neighborhood and feel safe
"10,000 steps a day may sound daunting" Just left a job where I did 18000-28000 steps a day, moving heavy shit and powerwalking. The first week when I started, I lost 3 lbs on accident.
I work from home (always have), and I set a timer to remind me to get up at least every hour and walk around the house for 5 minutes. I love your other tips, and I will try to make use of them! :)
Great tip!
I literally walk laps around my house when Im on youtube lol If you're a samsung user they have these walking challenges within their health app to join every month and it motivates me because for every month you get a badge for completing a certain amount of steps 😁 It's motivating to see my collection of badges from each subsequent month! 🥰
Download Strava 💪💞
Yes. I use the app as well. Tracking my hiking routes is fun too.
When I shake my wrist with my Galaxy watch on it, I get dozens of steps added to it, so, I think I could have a lot of badges
good for you girl! keep it up 🎉
I have an app called impact. Basically released by a company called vedanta for csr. Based in the steps you raise money for charity. Past 33 days ive been doing 5km to 10km walking everyday. I lost only 7 pounds though, gotta get my diet strict .
Usually when it comes to walking I aim for 5000-7000 steps a day. Your body can benefit from it overall. Nice vid!
The best video I’ve seen on reasons to walk to burn fat. I’ve lost 3 stone or 35Ibs from walking.
i like how you broke down the reasons of each type of fat reduction exercises.
I walk 20000 steps or more on average every single day I love walking literally
As an ectomorph, I could never imagine doing 20000 steps a day. I would shrivel into oblivion. Lol.
Same
Legit Clapping agreed 😂
Roy Martinez I barely do cardio, focus more on strength training, still eat tons and I’m shredded af 😭
Legit Clapping I still do cardio because I like having a good cardiovascular system and don’t want to gas out quick
My husband has a friend that is 75 and his wife is late 60's. For almost 30 years they both have been walking for 3 miles a day at a park near their home. I've never met the wife but the husband looks 20 years younger but more than that really vital.
its his son dumbo.
@@GtA-oz7yj not the son. Why are you calling people names ?
I love all of you making efforts to become healthier and also everyone helping others.
I walked 12 thousand plus up to 15 thousand steps per day , 5 days a week. I'm a online personal shopper. I'm loving it! ❤
I walk 4 miles a day and already lost ALOT OF WEIGHT. I keep calorie deficit and just keep on walking. 🤣 I am now on a dry fast for two days for healing. 😊 I am doing alot of cleaning and reading and walking during my dry fast
Agree on this. Walking does a wonderful job of body maintenance and meditation as well. Used to just exercise at the gym with little effect on fat loss, but when i was traveling around Europe in 2019, i walked almost 10 km a day for a good 2 months, the fat loss was amazing. Now, im already incorporating long walks in the evening in my wellness routine!
Diet is the main thing, move more then what you eat
also known as calorie deficit
It's better to eat enough to be active than sit around all day just not consuming much.
Purchased my first fitbit watch after this video. Thank you. I'm gonna hit the road as soon as they arrive.
On 1 October 2024 my weight is 90 kg i walked daily 10 to 15 thousand steps and little following diet today 3 November 2024 my weight is 80 kg ❤
Awesome video! I have been doing this now for a few years, and it’s crazy how much more you can keep your weight in check with just checking your steps!
Literally me this morning: I’ll do a rest day, maybe walk? Me after this video: fine, I’ll walk.
This is literally me today. I've been doing 12,000 to 15,000 steps a day and today I'm tired but I'm like no excuses get out and do it!
That idea of attaching a healthy activity or habit to something in the physical world like a hallway or doorway just blew my mind. Really cool idea. It's actually a technique used in lucid dreaming too. You practice associating doing "reality checks" to things you do during normal waking hours (walking through a doorway or looking at a clock, etc) so that it will also become a habit while dreaming. That way you can realize when you're dreaming and take control of it to do anything you want.
I’ve been searching for a simple walking plan. Thank you for your information Sir! Great video!!
